Workout 61 | Young Founders’ Roundtable

Workout 61 | Young Founders’ Roundtable

You 👀 the workout title! This is the one you’ve been waiting for, but didn’t know you needed! Thank you to Sonya Tareke, one of the Founders of Team Real Talk, for putting this workout together, and producing how we’d go about it. Thanks to David, Founder of Arbo and Jonathan, Founder of Time Capsule Family Connections for their time and energy! We started to tackle what it's like being a young founder in tech (& out) here in Buffalo, NY. “As a young founder, particularly at a non-technical startup, it's extraordinarily tough to earn credibility. In a people-facing business where you're often relying on first impressions to succeed, it's even more difficult. Although age is just a number, it does pose a variety of challenges for budding entrepreneurs. So to help others like us, we'll focus on the following topics: Being taken seriously, Securing funding, & Redefining your social circle. These are the three main points, but it's an open discussion and we didn’t hold back!” —Sonya Tareke. You wanna win?! You wanna steps to Shattering Slavitude–then get this workout done. Push for the success you desire. It’s in here!

Workout 58 | Respite Now!: Love, Money, or Connection?

Workout 58 | Respite Now!: Love, Money, or Connection?

(Excerpt from Respite Now!, essay) Today, we appeal to the imaging of all of us together without taking thorough stock of strides and roads all have sojourned in making it to this point. In other words—we’re siloing more—while appearing to be with one another. Even simpler, we’ve found a phenomenal way of being alone, together. All us are in a slowly crashing car—and we all know it. Yet, we’re too confused to understand what to do about it. Solvency centered philosophies have to sustain us from here. No more do we have the privilege of loathing one another. No! We are now plagued with the burden of exploring real reasons to love one another… if we truly wish to sustain. Let’s have the real life discussions—at the table—while celebrating one another’s presence, in the moment. Grab your fave writing utensil and journal. This episode is chocked full of thought provoking content. Feel free to enjoy, and ask questions. Peace!

Workout 56 | Dammit–Harvey!: "Pain That Doesn't Transform Gets Transmitted."

Workout 56 | Dammit–Harvey!: "Pain That Doesn't Transform Gets Transmitted."

This workout was inspired by Oprah and Harry's new series, "The Me You Can't See." The title, "Pain That Doesn't Transform Gets Transmitted," sorta pushed us into assessing just how this socially transmitted disease (socio-emo pain) might be effecting us. An initial thought that comes to mind is the concept of an individual being special. And-because one is often referred to as special, one’ll often run into another that feels that they have a greater design for the use of the one's specialty. However, what’s true is because one is special, one also has the responsibility of being who and what one wants (based on one's own design). Perplexing? 🤓🦾 Good ! Tap in, to fill in the blanks. Enjoy!😉

Workout 55 | What Do I Have to See in Order for Me to Understand That This Isn’t True?🤔🧐🤓

Ayo, I was blown away when my colleague, Mike Cardus, dropped the proverbial 🎤 with this question. Mike told me that he uses this question (along with others) as a tool in empowering organization heads to think about/approach challenges differently. When I presented The Phoenix Mastermind with this question, it immediately made everyone come alive and curious to explore the facets. Join as we attempt to bring this concept down to earth and make it make everyday sense. As always, we appreciate you falling through and working out with us. Enjoy! Peace.

The above equation is the brain child of Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, and Creativity dynamo, Ruth Noller. Though symbolic, this equation serves as a compass-of sorts.

Episode # 20: Is being in the Capitalist Class close to being a Sociopath?

Episode # 20: Is being in the Capitalist Class close to being a Sociopath?

Come kick it with Goose and I as we attempt to explore the overlap between Capitalism and Antisocial behaviors/pathological personality traits. I believe these behaviors stem from America's haunting, traumatic past. And because of such, we're gonna have to do the really hard stuff required for us to heal to heal. First, let's call it what it is. We need to build dialogue around these sorts of topics. Then, let's pull it apart to see what or how capitalism benefits us as Capitalists! Don't agree? Awesome! I'd love to get your take on the conversation.
